== Anime and Manga ==
* Katsuhiko Jinnai from ''[[El -Hazard: The Magnificent World]]'' is either this or intentionally sympathetic, given his status as [[The Resenter]], his tendency to wobble between impressive and ineffectual (often purely based on unforseeable chance events like the heroes deciding to climb a cliff instead of taking the path he expected because one of them is a crazy mountain climber), and the fact that his bug-like allies are more funny than threatening. It's really the fact he tends to [[Card-Carrying Villain|lie and cheat]] that causes one to wonder if this sympathy was not meant to happen. Admittedly, for some viewers the fact that Jinnai is leading an ''invasion'' and unleashed an ancient Weapon Of Mass Destruction ''first'' undercuts the sympathy somewhat.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)|Yuzuha]] in ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]:|Tenchi Muyo! Manatsu no Eve]]'', you could spend days drawing up alternate character interpretations due to the disappointingly short runtime of the movie, which allows for quite a bit of freedom since so much is raised and so little actually touched upon, and 70% of them would either result in [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] or an angry petulant demon child without the proper understanding of emotion.
* [[Alpha Bitch|Ursula]] from the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime. She does get a fair bit of [[Draco in Leather Pants]], but even many of those who won't deny that she's a [[Jerkass]] think she would have been an interesting character, and would have liked her to get more development. Plus, some disgruntled fans don't understand why [[Designated Villain|they're supposed to boo and hiss at the girl]] (who is at least shown to love and respect her Pokémon) and, at the same time, to admire [[Jerk Sue|Paul]], who is a much worse person than she is.
